Friday afternoon mom and I got our nails done and started getting ready for the rehearsal and dinner. The rehearsal was at Georgia's family home since both the ceremony and the wedding were taking place there. I was amazed to see that her yard had been transformed with a massive tent, tons of bamboo chairs and new landscaping for the event. It was so nice to hang out with high school pals and Georgia's college friends. Also nice was that they were pouring wine at the rehearsal (woohoo).
After rehearsing we crammed in cars and headed downtown to the Forest Place ballroom where the rehearsal dinner was being held.

I was so impressed with the dinner. There was a cocktail hour with open bar and appetizers being passed. The appetizers were mini ramekins of macaroni and cheese and shot glasses full of chili cheese fries - both the groom's favorite foods and so cute! The setting was beautiful with black and green decorations (to correspond with the wedding theme).
Teddy works as a manager for Jason's Deli so his groom's cake was a replica of a club sandwich - so cool and a REALLY good cake! I like that they served it at the rehearsal dinner:
Me and my date!
Saturday I attended the bridesmaid's lunch @ the Coosa Country Club. It was great with mimosa's, quiche and cheese grits. Georgia gave us all monogrammed tote bags from Land's End and I have already used mine many times!

Since I did not have to be at Georgia's house until 4, I stopped by to visit with my sweet Mimi (who has recently been in the hospital and was at home resting) who lives by Georgia's house to hang out with her. I headed home and met up with my mom and other grandmother to watch the GA game. I was so happy that we beat our four game losing streak and beat the Vols! We even let Georgie (our dog) come in and watch!
I couldn't get over this pic I snapped of Georgie watching Aaron Murray score a touchdown!
I quickly got ready and jumped in the car with Rebecca (who was keeping the guest book) to head over to see the beautiful bride! Georgia was so pretty in her dress and all the bridesmaids looked great!
Good shot of T and the bride - loved the bridesmaid dresses!
Childhood buds!
Obsessed with her mother's dress from Saks! She looked fab!
The bride striking a pose! She wore a family heirloom dress and veil that was remade for her special day and I loved it!
It was so special that the whole event was spent at her home. I loved the rustic green and white arrangements and being able to be inside her house and out in her yard. The night was spent dancing, drinking champagne and eating New Orleans inspired food. The weather could not have been better. At the end of the night, waiters passed around silver trays full of KRYSTAL burgers! I loved it!
Congratulations to the Woollers - hope you are enjoying Anguilla!
